Joyce, That was my first impression too but if you click on 'Books for Sale' and on that page click on 'Arkansas Donation Land Records' or 'Swamp Sales' you will get pages that do give you the list of names. Unfortunately the dates were too late for my kin who I think came from Wayne Co. TN to Izard Co. AR. abt. 1853. But it was fun to read and may explain why they left TN. Happy hunting! Sylvia

Sylvia, Thanks for the information. I will try it. joyce Sylvia Thomas <sat@texas.net> wrote: Joyce, That was my first impression too but if you click on 'Books for Sale' and on that page click on 'Arkansas Donation Land Records' or 'Swamp Sales' you will get pages that do give you the list of names.
